At a guess, it would be because you specified --no-ticket. As far as  
I understand, you told svk to perform a merge but to not record that  
it has done so. The next time you merged it would therefore not know  
that it had already merged changes and even though the changes are  
already present it would pull in the logs again.

Why were you using --no-ticket? Its documentation says:

      --no-ticket            : do not record this merge point

Seems fairly clear to me that this is not what you want in most cases.
